After facing the prospect of half-blindness.
Sometimes you get lucky, as I’ve often said.
This was all unexpected two years ago, but sometimes things turn out better and you move ahead.
I feel I also have more focus and clarity, even in thinking and speaking of late, so there are sometimes these unexpected positives that emerge from what, for example, would have been certain half-blindness before 1993 medical technology finally made it possible for all like-patients to avert disaster.
Luck of the draw. Luck of timing yet again. (Paul Simon’s “Born at the Right Time” comes to mind.) As my wife’s prof used to say to his class n the late’60s: “You people are lucky to have been born when you were. These are the best days and times.”
